CPKC 118-16 heads down the CN Bala Subdivision (directional running) passing through the location known as Cranberry. This is where Trans Canada Highway 69 passes over the mostly isolated northern section of the Bala Sub. A new roadbed has been built a few years ago along with two new bridges over the tracks (all to the left of the photo) for when the twinned highway 400 project moves ahead. This shot will be no more across an open swamp in Ontario's Northern Georgian Bay country.
For the most part, this section of CN is very isolated, and as an employee I am able to gain access. CN's Bala, Ruel, Soo, Caramat, Allanwater, and Redditt Subs are all featured.
